About Cancertrack™

Cancertrack™ is a non-invasive, blood-based liquid biopsy that detects cancer-derived biomarkers. It can be used as often as necessary to monitor disease progression or recurrence and to detect mutations acquired during treatment.

Features

  • Coverage of targetable DNA and RNA alterations, including SNVs, short InDels, CNVs and fusions/rearrangements.
  • Multi-coordinate and multi-dimensional analysis of DNA and RNA released by cancer cells into the blood.
  • Rapid, real-time assessment of the cancer’s changing molecular profile.
  • Not dependent on the availability of tumour tissue.
  • Can assess biomarkers arising from multiple active disease sites.
  • Limit of detection: 0.1% Mutant Allele Frequency.

Suitable For

  • People diagnosed with cancer, as a supplement to conventional biopsy and for baseline circulating tumour DNA measurement before treatment.
  • People in remission who require active surveillance and monitoring.
  • People currently undergoing cancer treatment.
  • People who are not responding satisfactorily to standard-of-care therapies.

What Can Cancertrack™ Reveal?

  • Targetable molecular variants.
  • Early indication of cancer recurrence or relapse.
  • Molecular dynamics in real time.
  • Indication of therapy success.
  • Molecular signs of drug resistance.

Biomarkers

Cancertrack™ evaluates SNVs and InDels, Copy Number Alterations and RNA fusion rearrangements across a 52-gene panel.

Why Monitoring Matters

Imaging and scans can take longer to show whether treatment is working or has failed. Cancertrack™ provides molecular information that can help healthcare professionals monitor response or progression alongside conventional clinical assessment.
